Update the Secret Decoder Ring plz!

Getting kinda frustrating, every nice job I see posted in Click & Brag is full of acronyms and product abbreviations not on the list!

If you look at the upper left box on home page you will see a line labled secret decoder ring which should give MOST of the used acronyms.

HOWEVER!!! This needs to be updated very soon as I have come across many new ones in the past month.

Have you seen this thread?

It`s a sticky in the Detailing Products forum. If you have any additional suggestions feel free to pitch in.

The following thread has a spreadsheet with some of the newer acronyms you can download and then add to as you find new ones. Not a perfect solution, but until things get updated it might be your best option:

I would like to propose that all new acronyms be at least three characters. Because search omits any 2 character strings, it is really hard to find topics where only the 2-letter acronym is used. If there is a secret way to search for 2 character strings, please let me know!

use a wildcard in your search...so if you want to find Eagle One products search with "EO*".

The 2-character limit annoys me as well. To get around it I go to Google and do an advanced search limited to the autopia.org domain.
